The JavaScript programming language is quite popular today. This is due to the fact that it can be used both to create dynamic static web pages, and to write full-fledged SPA applications and even computer games. True, the latter is less common today due to the fact that games are written in other languages.
A bit of history
The first prerequisites for the appearance of this language appeared in 1992, when the development of the scripting embedded language Cmm (C minus minus) was started. It was later renamed ScriptEase because the name C minus minus had a negative connotation. Generally. Before the language acquired its modern name, its name changed several more times.
In 1995, Brendan Eich was given the task of introducing a programming language into the Netscape browser. The language was originally called Mocha, then LiveScript. Finally, it got its modern name - JavaScript. Here the developers went to the trick. At the time when they were improving LiveScript, the Java language was quite popular. In order to attract more developers to work with the new language, it was decided to use Java in its name. The end result is JavaScript.
The latest version of the ES6 language was released in 2015. With its appearance, the language gained a second life. There are new standards, as well as the ability to work with constants. The code itself has also changed. The language adheres to the principle of reducing code with more functionality.
